Project
DolarBot WhatsApp
WhatsApp bot that converts USD amounts to ARS from text or voice messages using AI transcription and currency APIs.
Problem
Currency conversion requests often arrive in natural language or voice messages, so the bot needed to understand flexible input and return useful ARS conversions quickly.

DolarBot combines WhatsApp messaging, audio transcription, AI interpretation, and real-time exchange rates into a simple automation flow for text and voice.
